We look out on the world, everything we see appears normal. We know what our world is, and the nature of people, places, and things. We know the who, what and how they and we are predictability. It's a comforting feeling to have our beliefs, attitudes, expectations, aspirations, values, all reflected back to us. We are submerged into our world, lost in our matrix. We believe that what we see is an actuality, a fact. If this were true we all would have the exact same experience. What creates this qualitive variance, difference of experience, to a lesser or greater degree, for better or worse? Could it be the variance in the words, symbols, and the meaning we hold for them? Could these, words, symbols, and their meaning, the components of our language, chained together by us to form larger linguistic constructs labeled as beliefs, attitudes, expectations, etc. some how be shackling us? How are we chaining these linguistic structures together? Could it be that these linguistic structures act as coloring and filtering agents creating our point of view, our lenses of perception? Lenses that dictate who we are, who we can be, what talent or ability can or will be developed, what is possible to learn or impossible, how we feel, what we can or cannot express, experience, and aspire to in life. Lenses that channel our very life to mold and conform into the world we see and experience!

We see the world through our beliefs, attitudes, expectations, and aspirations. These linguistic constructs dictate / direct / channel / govern our speech and behavior out to the world of people, events, places, and things. These linguistic constructs process / compare / filter / censor the feedback from the world of people, events, places, and things. The information flows, out to and back from the world, and is processed seamlessly, and you, are submerged in the matrix. With this filtered feedback from the world, your neuro-linguistic constructs are validated, justified, and go with out question. You perceive this filtered feedback as a truth, as real, as self-fullfilling prophecy. Our beliefs, attitudes, expectations, aspirations and how we feel and think about them become the very bricks and mortar that create a reality box in which we seemingly are locked up.
